Forty-one students (41), thirty-eight (38) of whom did the course for credits (completion) and four (4) for audits (participation) graduated.
Our primary reference materials were:
1. A book from Dr. George Eldon Ladd – “The Kingdom of God.”
2. Reading of St. Matthew’s Gospel, three (3) chapters weekly.
3. It was a mandatory classroom of one and a half hour video lectures by Prof. Gary Matsdorf.
4. We had a paper included from Rev. Jack Hayford. “The messages Christ preaches.
This 10 week Training Course has been spiritually, socially, emotionally, and psychologically transformational, for all the students including myself, and by extension the whole Church.
We all now have a more expansive in depth and theological understanding of the “The Kingdom of God,” what it means and what it represents to the Church of God.
This awesome inspiring teaching by Ladd on the Kingdom, has brought light and glory where there has been gross darkness, in this evil age. Ladd asked the question “Does mankind have a destiny”? Jesus himself came saying to a sinful world. “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand” (St. Matthew 4:17) His focus was primarily on the Kingdom of God even inviting it’s coming in the Lord’s Prayer. |
We are God’s emissaries and we are assured as we lay hold on God’s word that our God will someday rule over all.
